COVID-19 Resources
updated August 25, 2020
Convalescent Plasma
According to the Food and Drug Administration, people who have fully recovered from COVID-19 for at least two weeks are encouraged to consider donating plasma, which may help save the lives of other patients. COVID-19 convalescent plasma must only be collected from recovered individuals if they are eligible to donate blood.
In the Quad-Cities, the Mississippi Valley Regional Blood Center is accepting donations of Convalescent Plasma. Click here to learn more.
